Six & Nine are Equal!

Six & Nine are Equal!

This is one of my favourite activities I like to do with couples.

I draw a large number ‘6’ (or ‘9’ depending on how you look at it!) on a piece of paper.

I then hold it between the couple and ask them what they see…one says they see the number Six and the other sees a number Nine. 

‘So who is right?’ I ask them.

I tend to get smiles at this point and comments like, ‘very good’.

Guess what…both can be right!

That is the message…two people can both see the same thing but have a different perspective…and both be right, having a valid way of seeing that particular situation.

 A suggestion…Try seeing your partner’s ‘world’ from their view, giving validation that their perspective makes sense to you…even if you may not agree.

This is a wonderful gift we offer the other person…hearing them and respecting their opinion.

‘See’ you again in a couple of weeks…I plan to send something short and sweet fortnightly.
